I never said it was nefarious

I only said it was there and they do remove the origin and a part number actually the same way Tom Evans removes the markings on his products because according to him he also matches them in time consuming process. I don't see a difference here implied by Abe and E-Stat. Do you ?? The outcome is the same . You either buy from manufacturer or play a radio.
90% refusal rate is a joke and it is not sustainable in any manufacturing and modern active devices do not have such broad spread of parameters to justify that sort of selection.
They lost some of the database of the devices they used in older lines in power supply regulators. I read now and then of folks (mostly abroad) stuck with those monsters nobody wants to repair due to lack of replacement parts or the price quotes from the local dealers. I do have a fair amount of respect for Audio Research for their (mostly past) construction prowess and parts quality. It was exemplary, but it just didn't sound like it to me. Later gear I worked on (Ref75 SE ) is getting closer to McIntosh in assembly. Much less impressive.
